There was a gas leak discovered this morning on Kenny Road near Woody Hayes drive (north of Metro). The Grandview Fire Department has closed a portion of Kenny Road while the leak is handled and is monitoring the area.
The Fire Captain has confirmed that the Metro building will not be impacted by the leak, so classes will continue as usual. The only change is that Wellness (gym) classes will remain indoors and we will not have outdoor recess.

The Metro building lost power this morning; we do not have a good estimate of how long the power will be out. Because we are unable to conduct classes without electricity, students are being sent home and will have an asynchronous day.
